Children

I have absolutely adored Hannah’s art workshops during lockdown, they give me something to look forward to, it’s the highlight of my week! She explains everything really clearly and answers any questions we have, I’ve made some lovely things with the help of Hannah! She makes my day.

You are always helpful, kind and talented. You have a very “bubbly” personality.

I thought it was good that we could ask lots of questions and that it was very relaxed.

Adults

Your attention to everyone and thoughtfulness and way with the children made it all really so special. I think you inspired us all . . . as such a nurturing and lovely tutor to have for the children. New to them but they all felt instantly safe and at ease with you. Special skills Hannah . . . You make everyone feel they belong, comfortable and want to return again and again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful clay workshop, Hannah. Just what we needed to slow down and enjoy creating together. A breath of fresh air in the homeschooling marathon! We’re looking forward to next week. - Hannah (parent) January 2021

“What a therapeutic evening of crafting. I’d not tried needle felting before but Hannah explained it so clearly that it was very easy to pick up. The materials were all provided and she gave advice and ideas whenever they were needed. Came home with some lovely homemade items, but even better was just the experience of the evening, left to experiment with the materials and try things out. The studio is beautifully laid out and well equipped, a real sanctuary. I’d recommend this to anyone, whether they’d consider themselves artistic or not!”

Hannah is just delightful, warm and inclusive.

Really appreciated Hannah coming to our venue with all her stuff - no small achievement!! Very organised, efficient, excellent craft equipment, clear explanation, very patient with queries, always calm, helpful and a delight to have at our party. Everyone of all ages enjoyed the craft, & were very pleased with their felt pieces. Timing was good and clear up efficient. No mess! Would definitely do this again and highly recommend.

Hannah's craft sessions are superb: not only does she provide high quality and beautiful materials to work with in a beautiful setting, but she is excellent at relating to children, making quite complex processes easy to understand and enjoyable to engage in. My girls were utterly fascinated by the whole process, and as we left, were already asking 'when can we come again?!'

Hannah has taught inspiring and dynamic art sessions with children and young people over Zoom, Instagram and Facebook Live. She is a clear communicator and a skilled teacher. She not only delivers well on screen, but is a pleasure to work with as she always delivers paperwork promptly along with her indepth and well structured session plans incorporating STEAM elements.

Hannah’s customer services skills and communication are excellent - she is a very friendly person and is great to work with. I did not give her much time to make 310 activity packs but she made sure I got everything I was wanting, from the colour of the ribbons on the outside of the boxes to the high standard materials inside. I would have no hesitation to recommend Hannah to others. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
